Sounds like the security business is going to have a good year in Colorado.
It's the cost of doing business.
Unfortunately the society as whole will have to pay the price of skyrocketing crime. Even those who opposed drugs will have to pay the price for this mistake. Local governments will struggle to provide security for their citizens.
Denver Police spokesperson disputed these figures.
Quoted from your story.
At anyrate, if true it's because of the price, and security easily fixes this. Jewelry stores are often targets for this reason. Finn would outlaw gold.
It attracts criminals who will increase crime overall. In Holland the number of crime families went from 3 to over 90, and robberies, theft etc skyrocketed. But then again, I already told you.
Your theory was soundly trampled on and resoundingly debunked in the other thread. Do you really think we need to go through all of that again?
I agree. Let's admit that prohibition of marijuana didn't work and close shop on it. After all, it's been nearly a century and marijuana use is at its highest point ever. I'd call that ample evidence that it is a failed policy.
I know, right? Funny how they refuse to admit the "war on drugs" is a failure, despite overwhelming evidence to the fact... but ONE MONTH into legal pot in CO, and they're already declaring it's a failure? Come to California some time, and I'll show you how this looks 20 years down the road! The club I go to most often looks like any other store, and doesn't even have a line on most days.

You got to understand the OP is anti legalization for MJ and is looking for any excuse to justify his position. The fact that it being illegal didn't stop availability or usage much at all or the the drug it self is a passive drug doesn't matter he would much rather see the people continue to pay billions in taxes in a war on MJ and see many have their lives ruined in the criminal system because of marijuana.
The fact that many drugs are legal and you can get them at any drug store yet these drugs DO addict someone to where they sell their body or rob people to pay for it, and sometimes overdose escapes him.

Crime statistics are not theories. You can believe, or not believe anything you want. I am not here to change the minds of hard core drug activists like you, but the inform those who are interested in the truth.

Your entire argument about Holland is based on your fallacious claim that marijuana is legal there. It isn't, as has been repeatedly pointed out to you, but you refuse to admit that you are wrong. Seriously, find a better argument.

Ugh crime families are already involved in the drug trade. It being illegal gave them the black market to prosper in. One need only look at the history of prohibition of alcohol in America to see that prohibition gave birth to a huge increase in crime mobs and gangs and once alcohol was legalized again they diminished dramatically.
The is no difference between alcohol and MJ in the sense of this. However if you limited liquor stores to accepting only cash and limited them to banking no doubt you would see a increase in robberies of these stores when the criminals know large amounts of cash is on hand with minimal security.

Ugh, yes three of them were involved in Holland, and that number jumped to over 90 after they went soft on crime.
You want to see a 50 fold increase in crime families in US? I don't, but it seems to be happening already after ONE MONTH. Colorado can keep their issues
Criminals targeting businesses that, due to antiquated federal laws, are insecure and hold large amounts of untraceable cash and merchandise?
Ya don't say...
